Biography
Appearance and Death
While at the diner with Nancy and Kris, Dean fell asleep and encountered Freddy in the kitchen who proceeded to slash his hand. Nancy woke him, telling him if he keeps falling asleep they will kick him out of the diner. He met his girlfriend Kris at the diner and told her about his nightmares and lack of sleep. When he accidentally spilled coffee on her, she went to the restroom. He fell asleep again and met Freddy. He grabbed Dean's hand, which was holding a knife and forced him to drag it across his own throat as Kris watched in horror in real life. After Dean's funeral, Kris realized that she really knew Dean way before high school but was unable to fully remember. She started to confide in Jesse about her nightmares as the other kids began dying.
